Package: mp4v2-utils
Version: 2.0.0~dfsg0-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Due to a misplaced "break;" statement, when you use the -picture flag to
mp4tags to specify the path to a cover art file, it also sets the album artist
field (eg: as if using the -albumartist flag) to the path of the file given to
the -picture flag.

This bug has actually been previously reported:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=709127

but the applied fix was wrong; rather than applying the supplied patch as-is,
the "break" was put inside the "else" clause just above, so the bug persists
in any case where the cover art is successfully set (and that "else" clause
is not triggered).
